10,000 Posts, Oh My!

I’m a celebrator–I love celebrating milestones in life!  Sometimes we get caught up in the process and don’t take time to enjoy what we have worked hard for, and I think that is why I like to take time to celebrate various dates, anniversaries, and milestones.

This post marks our 10,000th post on Temptalia, which is just really exciting for me personally! 🙂   These milestones in Temptalia’s history also give me a moment to extend the biggest thank you to our amazing readers!  Without you, I would not have a reason to post!  I’m so blessed to be a part of such an inspiring, knowledgeable community.  Here’s to the next 10,000 posts! 🙂

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Congratulations from me, too! You know, I’ve developed some kind of love-hate relationship with temptalia. I love the page but I hate how well the name suits it. I just can’t help coming back. 😉

Your work is awsome! Keep it going!

Oh Wow! Congratulations! I like milestones too; while you are constantly growing and making progress, milestones make the progress easier to track. And you have come a long way. But you work super hard, so it’s to be expected. 🙂 The secret to success is working hard!

WHOOOO!! What a milestone! Fun fact: If you had done one post per day, this milestone would have taken roughly 27 years, 4 months, 16 days, 12 hours, and 15 minutes to achieve! Talk about, um, AMAZING! :]
